its uppermost waterfall. Similarly Caratunk Falls was for a time Nine Miles Falls.
Canaan, first settled in 1770, named Wesserunsett in early days and, for a while, including also Skowhegan and Bloomfield ; Norridgewock, settled in 1773 and Fairfield, settled in 1774, were in the van of upper Kennebec River places before the battle of Lexington. Fling and Martin, of Norridgewock, were examples of hardy frontiersmen, who abandoned their enter- prises to enlist in the patriot army. When these and others returned the winter after the peace at Yorktown, a group of other towns were rapidly blazed out. Solon, Embden and Athens were approached in 1782 and New Portland in 1783. Cornville first called Barnardstown, because it was a tract, including Madison, purchased by Moses Bernard - was settled in 1794.
When the pre-Revolution towns, just mentioned, were founded communication with the lower settlements was difficult. As late as 1776 the nearest mill for grinding corn was at Gardiner and the easiest journey was by canoe. The nearest store was at Getchell's Corner in Vassalboro, some 30 or 40 miles by the river. Little wonder, when the settlers began to make a trail northward in 1782, one of the first things thought of in each community was a grist mill. There was real living for a family in a well-ground bag of meal. Little wonder, too, when Maj. John Moor moved up to North Anson and built the first mill, that he was given as a reward for his energy the land in that village south of the Madison street of this day and from the Mill Stream to the Kennebec. It was the foundation of his fortune and for the prosperity of the four sons - Goff, Abraham, John and Joseph - who came with him. Maj. Moor in 1780 first came to Norridgewock. Wearing his uniform as a former officer of the army, according to an old chronicle, he "excited considerable attention by his dress and address."
The convenience of grinding corn at North Anson, however, which reduced the trip to mill from a four or five days journey by canoe to a one day's journey on horseback, and even the prospects of a mill further up on Seven Mile Brook, which Jacob Savage and his sons soon made a reality, did not entirely mitigate the hardships of establishing new homes. Whether this

influenced Nimrod Hinds (1758-1835) against remaining long upon his farm, when he returned from the army, is not told. He signed himself from Norridgewock on August, 1807, when for $90 he sold his tract of 16 3-4 acres and an island of three acres in Seven Mile Brook - all south of the stream and adjoin- ing David Hutchins - to Ephraim Savage of Anson. Ephraim in 1819 sold the island for $25 to Moses Williams.
Hinds was an intimate neighbor of Eben Richardson and Capt. Josiah Parker of New Portland who lived very near him. It is said that he kept bachelor's hall there, which apparently must have been prior to 1794. Hinds, Richardson and Capt. Parker bought a grindstone about as large as a small cheese and hung it near the mouth of Hutchins brook for the accommoda- tion of the settlers.
The Hindses were a notable clan that has supplied several able men to Maine. Nimrod's brother, Asher Hinds, was great- grandfather of the late Asher C. Hinds (1863-1919) of Portland, who had a distinguished career at Washington, first as secretary to Speaker Reed, then for several terms as Representative in Congress.
The Hinds family came from Shrewsbury and West Boylston, Mass., where Nimrod and his younger brother, Asher, grew up. Nimrod, the Embden land holder, died at Dover. He married Betsey Pishon, of Fairfield, a few years after he got his Embden lot. They resided at Fairfield from 1794 till 1800, when they moved to Norridgewock.
Peter Hinds, a son born to them there, died in Wayne, Pa. He was inventor of the folding bed and of spring clothespins. Amos Barton Hinds, another son born at Norridgewock, died unmarried at Troy, N. Y., a school teacher. Ulmer Hinds, an- other son, who died at Dover in 1853, unmarried, taught school in New York and Pennsylvania and held local offices in Piscataquis county. About 1812, Nimrod moved his family to Bloomfield, where several more children were born. One of them, Charles Pishon Hinds, was a millwright and lumberman. He resided at Corinna for some years before his death. Many of the Hinds family lived at Dover, Clinton and Benton. There are descendants also in Kingfield and adjacent towns.

Nimrod had two terms of service during the Revolution, both with Massachusetts militia and both on duty in Rhode Island. On the first of these he was quartered at the College of Providence to prevent smuggling with the enemy's ships and to prevent the enemy from taking off fresh provisions. He was paid mileage for a round trip of 115 miles to Rhode Island in this service. The family had a record for colonial patriotism. Nimrod's grandfather, Benjamin Hinds, who died at Shrews- bury, Mass., in 1847, loaned $60,000 to the continental congress, part of which was returned to him in colonial money.
The Chamberlains, progressing to Vassalboro and then to Norridgewock, were old settlers in Embden by 1790. They were contemporaries of George Michael, a little below them on the River, and of Capt. Samuel Hutchins on Seven Mile Brook. Indeed in their day, the Chamberlains are mentioned in deeds recorded at Wiscasset, as belonging to Seven Mile Brook, which indicates that Titcomb Town was the later settlement of the two. Seven Mile Brook at first designated all of Embden except, perhaps, the northeast corner.
Rev. Paul Coffin in his diary Sept. 27, 1797, wrote that he called at Jeremiah Chamberlain's and "gave a primer with much religious counsel. He and his wife sensibly felt instruc- tion, owned their neglect, thanked me heartily and earnestly wished me to call again."
Joshua Chamberlain may have been a brother of John. He had interest in Lot 85 on the west side of the Kennebec at Nor- ridgewock and sold it that year for £150 to Zimri Heywood, gentleman, of Winslow. He was owner also of land on the "east side of Kennebec River at Seven Mile Brook" (presum- ably in Madison) comprising two tracts, both of which he sold for £60 in 1784 to Sylvanus Sawyer. But on Aug. 11, 1783, "Joshua Chamberlain, residing at Seven Mile brook, not in any town yeoman" had recovered judgment against "Oliver Wood, of Norridgewock, not in any town, esquire" for £250, damage, and £18-16-10, costs of suit, and the sheriff of Lincoln County was directed to "cause to be paid to Joshua Chamberlain a satisfactory amount or take him into custody."
234
EMBDEN TOWN OF YORE
This seems to be all the evidence of Joshua Chamberlain having been a resident of Embden but "John Chamberlain of Seven Mile Brook" who married Mary Patch at Pepperell. Mass., April 25, 1758, appears in a deed, signed Feb. 21, 1785, and recorded Aug. 7, 1787, as conveying "in consideration of love, good will and affection" to his "son, Stephen Chamberlain, of the same place," a quit claim to Lot H in Norridgewock "also land in Seven Mile Brook fronting 80 poles on Kennebec River, bounded south by George Michael's land." Stephen Chamber- lain, of Seven Mile Brook, on Nov. 1, 1787, sold this Lot H, of 200 acres at Norridgewock, for £90 to William Spaulding.
Jeremiah Chamberlain, born at Pepperell, Dec. 30, 1760 and owning the farm north of Stephen, born at Pepperell Dec. 5, 1763, also was one of the "others" for whom the John Gray Mill Lot was "laid out." This is proven by a deed, signed Nov. 6, 1792, and recorded at Wiscasset Oct. 11, 1793. It was a mort- gage deed from Jeremiah to Samuel Redington, of Winslow, carpenter, by which, for £12, Jeremiah conveyed "one-half of a sawmill with 1-2 appurtenances and tackle situated on Martin's Stream in the Seven Mile Brook Settlement, it being on lot 23 together with ten acres." The mortgage was redeemable in one year on payment of £10-12. The identification of the sawmill on the John Gray mill lot is complete. For some reason Jeremiah writes himself in this deed as "of Norridgewock," but on March 27, 1799, when he bought of William Spaulding, Lot 70 of 75 acres in Norridgewock for $600, he was described as of Seven Mile Brook.
Probably Jeremiah Chamberlain and his family departed from Embden about this time to live at Norridgewock. The births of his children "by Sally his wife" are entered in Nor- ridgewock town books as follows: Melinda, Dec. 1, 1790; Cynthia, Jan. 20, 1792; Ira, Aug. 25, 1793; Sally, July 27, 1795 ; Sally, May 28, 1796; and Temperance, April 3, 1798. At the foot of the entry is the line: "Above born at Seven Mile Brook."
Stephen Chamberlain had lived a while at Vassalboro, before his father, John, deeded to him an Embden farm. Some writer long ago noted that Stephen Chamberlain "of Solon" had "an
235
UP AND AWAY IN THE DAWN
account with John Getchell, Jr., of Vassalborough." Stephen and his children may have remained in Embden after others of his family went down the Kennebec but he, too, finally settled at Cornville. One daughter, Sophia, was the wife of Dr. Zenas Colby of Embden. Thomas Ball, who settled at Concord in 1788, married another of Stephen's daughters and raised a family of seven - Samuel, John (died at Concord in 1862), Ephraim, Thomas, Isaac, Daniel and Rachel Ball. This was during that pioneer period when there were four families at nearby Caratunk Falls with a total of 61 children. Among Stephen Chamberlain's descendants are Ruel W. Chamberlain, of Pasadena, Calif .; John Warren Chamberlain, of Guilford ; and Mrs. F. W. Allen, of Exeter.
Jeremiah Chamberlain returned down the Kennebec to Noble- borough, near Woolwich, and died there. He enlisted from Pepperell, Mass., June 1, 1780, and at his death was a Rev- olutionary pensioner. After the war he went to Vassalboro and married Sarah Roberts there Nov. 12, 1789. He and his family were in Damariscotta (then a part of Nobleborough) by 1816. Their daughters, Cynthia and Sarah, and their only son, Ira, joined the church there in 1819.
Ira Chamberlain (1793-1890) married Ruth, daughter of Seth Hawthorn, at Woolwich and in 1828 went to Bangor, where he became a merchant. Their five sons proved to be exceptional men, whose children and grandchildren have made noteworthy records. These sons were: Henry, who owned a ranch in northern California; Joseph Watson, who served through the Civil War and for two years thereafter, attaining the rank of Major; James Thwing, who died at Red Wing, Minnesota, where he went in 1857 for his health; and William and Edmund, who were Union soldiers and lost their lives in the service.
Maj. Joseph W. Chamberlain had two sons and three daugh- ers, of whom Grace, now deceased, was proficient as an elocu- ionist. The sons live at Bangor and one of the daughters is married and lives at Berkeley, California. Another daughter, Marion Chamberlain, was born at Cambridge, Mass. Her fa- her moved to Bangor where she graduated from the high school n 1893. She took the A. B. degree at Boston University in 1897
236
EMBDEN TOWN OF YORE
and an A. M. degree at Radcliff in 1910. She taught at the Gilman school in Cambridge several years, then helped establish a school at Hingham, Mass., and in 1914 went to Santa Barbara, Calif., to organize a girls' preparatory school
for eastern colleges. This has become a well known edu- cational institution on the Pacific Coast.
James Thwing Chamber- lain's children were Francis A., one of the great bankers of Minneapolis, and Carrie Louise, who married Alfred J. Dean, and resides in that city. Francis Asbury Cham- berlain, born April 20, 1855, at Bangor, passed his early. MARION L. CHAMBERLAIN years at Red Wing, Minn., attended the University of Minnesota and married in 1883 Frances Foss, daughter of Bishop Cyrus D. Foss. His business career led him into banking and for many years he was presi- dent of the First National Bank of Minneapolis, and now is chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors. He is a director of the Hennepin County Savings Bank and an ex-president of the Northwestern Life Insurance Company; director of the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company and of the Minneapolis Athenaeum. His interests extend to many other activities and he is widely known in the northwest as a man of high integrity. His only son, Cyrus Chamberlain. was an aviator of the Foreign Legion in the World War. He lost his life in an unequal air combat that saved some inexperienced members of his company. Harold Frederic, the only son of the Deans, had nine months continuous service on the French- American battle front with the 5th Regiment of Field Artillery and became a first lieutenant on the Headquarters Staff. Thus the
237
UP AND AWAY IN THE DAWN
Chamberlain name from Jeremiah of Embden, Norridgewock and Nobleborough has become of the newer West and counts in several fine careers far from the pioneer seat on the picturesque Kennebec.
Moses Chamberlain (1761- 1834)- brother of Jeremiah and Stephen-lived at Solon. He was a soldier of the Rev- olution, like Jeremiah, and was born at Pepperell. He was the first settler on Cham- berlain Hill (then called North Hill) in 1818 at Mos- cow, Maine. Prior to that -about 1800-he built what is known as the Chamberlain house in Solon, one of the best residences there. He was a justice of the peace in 1816.
FRANCIS ASBURY CHAMBERLAIN
Moses' first wife was Mary Baker, called Polly, a daughter of Joseph Baker from Readfield. She died on Chamberlain Hill and lies there in a lonely grave on a little knoll to the north of the road that leads to Deadwater. Two rough stones mark her grave. In 1820 Moses Chamberlain applied for a pension, at which time one of the children of his large family, was a daugh- ter, Mary, aged 13. Meanwhile Moses had married a second wife, Annie. Mrs. Glen R. Otis, of Sauk Center, Minn., is his great-granddaughter. Moses is buried in the village cemetery at Bingham.
The Chamberlains had a fighting background by descent from that John, who, in April, 1725, was one of the 46 enlisted men from the then frontier towns of Massachusetts under Capt. John Lovell, of Fryeburg. The Indians led by Paugus and Wahwa, met by Lovell's pond in that town. An ancient descrip- tion of the incident runs :
238
EMBDEN TOWN OF YORE
"The fight had continued so long that some of the guns became foul and John Chamberlain went down to the water to wash his piece. Just then a warrior, supposed to be Paugus, the chief of Paquaket Indians, came down for the same purpose only a short distance off.
"They watched each other's movements and, finishing the cleaning at the same time, commenced to load.
" 'Quick me kill you now,' exclaimed the Indian.
" 'May be not,' answered John Chamberlain, dropping the breach of his gun heavily on the ground. His old flintlock thus primed itself and a moment later his bullet crashed through the brain of the huge savage, whose bullet whistled harmlessly into the air."
Moses Green, owner of Lot 20, Kennebec frontage, by the map of 1790, north of Jeremiah Chamberlain, sold in the course of a few years to Abraham Rowe, from Barrington, perhaps a kinsman. Asa Green, who may have been his son, later occupied a farm just west. Nathaniel Martin, of the third farm above Moses Green and hard by the ferry was one of the signers in 1789 of a petition to the General Court for relief asking to be allowed an allotment of 200 acres. He had been in Embden since 1781, which would have made him one of the very earliest settlers there. His son, Nathaniel Martin, Jr., when enlisting for the War of 1812, said he was a native of Embden, born in 1793, which would place the family residence in the town for quite twelve years. The elder Martin, as a soldier of the Rev- olution, was credited to Norridgewock and had three years service in a Massachusetts line regiment. For two years he was in Col. Sherburne's regiment and was among the soldiers whom Gen. Washington transferred to the command of Col. Henry Jackson of the 16th. regiment. He was at Morristown, probably camped at Valley Forge and participated in the campaign through New Jersey. The deed by which he transferred his farm May 7, 1792, to Moses Thompson, with John Moor and John Moor, Jr., as witnesses, is in the possession of Mrs. Grant Witham, of Embden. Some of the Martin family in after generations were at Solon. 1

Samuel Fling (1765-1840), who was Martin's neighbor on the south, raised his family in New Portland. Most of his children migrated to distant parts. His oldest son, Daniel, went to sea and was never heard from. A son, Samuel, born in 1812, died at sea near Madigascar. The only other son, William Harrison Fling, born in 1814, married Mary Spaulding, a daughter of Joseph Spaulding, of Caratunk, before whom the elder Samuel on Oct. 1, 1836, executed the deed of his farm to Moses Thompson which was 35 years after it had been signed. Joseph Row, John Gray and Joshua Gray were witnesses to the instrument.
Like several large Embden families of the pioneer days, Samuel Fling's children were mostly daughters. There were seven Fling girls. Rhoda married Joseph Moody and died in Wisconsin ; Polly became the wife of Crosby Mitchell and died during January, 1863, in Illinois; Relief married Levi Holman. She passed her last days in Bangor. Emily became the wife of an Embden man - Daniel M. Rowe, but she died in Wisconsin, as did her sister, Hannah, who became Mrs. Nathan Marsh of Anson. Lydia Fling married John Thompson, of Madison, in 1831. The youngest child was Betsey. She first married Simeon Heald, of Anson, but died in Industry where Rufus Jennings, her second husband, resided.
At a New Portland town meeting in April, 1806, it was "voted to lay out a road from Samuel Fling's to the mouth of Gilman stream and from the mouth of Gilman stream to Emb- den line. Josiah Parker, James Hutchins and Samuel Fling were named a committee to lay out this road."
In their day the Flings were a leading family. Old Morris Fling made the first farming attempt at what is now the town of Winslow about 1764 and this land was known for many years as Fling's field. When Morris abandoned his farming ventures in Maine to serve in the Revolution, he found himself at Boston in September, 1777, as corporal in Capt. David Bradlee's Company, of Col. Thomas Craft's Artillery Regiment. There was dissatisfaction about the pay. Morris and others of the regiment signed a statement refusing to leave Boston "unless their bounty or wages or both were made equivalent to those allowed the soldiers of the Continental train of artillery."
240
EMBDEN TOWN OF YORE
Samuel, of Embden, was the youngest of five children by Morris' first wife, whose name is now unknown. When he had come to Old Point, Morris had married a second wife - Mrs. Esther (Farnsworth) Parker, widow of Josiah Parker. Their daughter, Hannah, born at Old Point in 1775, and baptized at Canaan, March 7, 1779, married Joseph Moore, one of the four sons of Major John Moore, of Anson. (Originally spelled "Moor"). Of eight children by both marriages, six were daughters.
Morris Fling has many descendants, nearly all, however, on the distaff side. District Attorney G. H. Moore, of Hollister, Calif., and a sister at San Jose, are great-grandchildren of Hannah Fling. Dennis Moore, around 80 years of age and living at Tulare, Calif., in 1926, is a grandson.
Samuel Titcomb, who at one time owned most of the west part of Anson, Joseph Cleveland, the father of the four Embden brothers, and Nancy Titcomb, daughter of Col. Benjamin Titcomb, of Dover, N. H., witnessed Morris Fling's will, made Aug. 12, 1796. It was a terse outspoken document, bestowing upon the children of his first marriage one dollar each, and upon those of his second marriage $60 and upwards. The grand- children from his first marriage were ignored as Old Morris passed to his reward.
Morris Fling lived and died in Anson and is buried at the top of Flint hill on the road to Madison. His grave is decked each year with a flag in token of his services in the Revolution. His second wife, Esther Farnsworth, was a sister of Joseph Weston's wife, whose second husband was Maj. John Moore. They were the parents of Asa W. Moore. Joseph Moore lived with the Flings and had the Asa or Will Moore farm, a short distance below North Anson village.
Only meager records remain of Joseph Cook and his life on the Caratunk Falls farm. He may have been a friend or kins- man of his northern neighbor, Jacob Williams and probably was the Joseph Cook, who served in the Revolution under Col. Michael Jackson, in the same regiment with several other Anson and Embden settlers. Perhaps he abandoned his land, which
241
UP AND AWAY IN THE DAWN
appears to have reverted to the Providence proprietors. Joseph Cook of 1830 in Embden lived there over 20 years.
Crossing back to the southeast corner, there is left, also, only meager records of Amos Taylor. His farm of 1790 on the north side of Seven Mile Brook - on the opposite bank from Nimrod Hinds - was sold by him in 1811 to Moses Williams for $250. It was known as a $20 lot, which meant Taylor had pre-empted it between 1784 and 1790. Amos Taylor was then a resident of Vassalboro. His wife was Betsey, daughter of James and Annah Young Savage of Anson. John Taylor was at New Portland in 1789 and sold land there to Joseph Paine.
This Embden-Anson-New Portland neighborhood, lying rough- ly between the Capt. Samuel Hutchins' farm on the east and East New Portland extended on the south to Daniel Salley and Rutherford Drummond. Both, or perhaps only Drummond, owned the mill site, of the present Franklin Power Company. The Drummonds were represented in Anson and vicinity for a long time. Josiah Drummond in 1832 owned a hotel at North Anson and sold it to William R. Flint.
Daniel Salley was one of five sons of a Virginian who settled on the Sebasticook River. William and one other of these sons settled at Madison and raised families. Another settled in Pittsfield. The two remaining sons, Daniel and Isaac, went to Embden. There is no evidence that Daniel Salley ever married. He fought in Col. Hitchcock's regiment for one year during the Revolution and was in the battles of Long Island and Harlem Heights. On May 13, 1820, when he made his affidavit to obtain a pension he said he had no family, was 69 years old and lived at Nobleborough. He also made affidavit that he was discharged from the army at Norristown, N. J., having served one month longer at Trenton than his enlistment, because Gen. Washington, the commander-in-chief requested it.
The brother Isaac, was a much more permanent Embdenite but resided at first in Anson. He was of that town on Feb. 9, 1804, when he married Sally Savage, daughter of Jacob, of Savage Island and thus allied himself with prominent settler families there and in Embden. They probably came to the farm on the Canada Trail soon afterward. All their children's births

are in the town records as follows : Elias, April 1, 1805; Hiram, April 6, 1806; Cyrus, Oct. 4, 1808; Jacob, born blind, Sept. 20, 1812, who always lived in Embden; Martha Ann (1814-1878) who became Mrs. Moses Rice, of Solon ; Isaac, Jr., and a twin sister, Sarah (Mrs. Warren Nutting) July 18, 1816; Nancy, March 18, 1819 ; and Abram, Feb. 1, 1821.
The Salley sons resided near their father's homestead. Elias owned the farm west of his father. He married Mary Dunlap, daughter of Archa, a mile up the road. Their children were Uriah, Lydia, Mary and Edwin. Prior to the Civil War Elias moved to Statesville, R. I., where Lydia, at the age of 96, was living unmarried recently. The other three children died years ago but have descendants in Rhode Island and at Frostproof, Fla. Hiram Salley married, settled at North New Portland but had no children.
Cyrus Salley married Fannie M. Rowe, of Embden, in 1834. His farm at one time comprised part of the Henry Caswell place and the John Libby farm, south of it, where his brother Elias had lived. The buildings were destroyed by fire many years ago. The Cyrus Salley children were: Nancy, May 27, 1836;
243
UP AND AWAY IN THE DAWN
Olive, May 30, 1838 ; John Milton, Dec. 21, 1839 ; Climena (Mrs. John O. Hilton ) Jan. 26, 1842; Fanny, June 23, 1843; and four younger ones - Harriet, Orrin, Frederick and Joshua. Of these Fred and Orrin Salley were residents of Embden in 1880. John Salley's wife was Paulina B. Adams, of Madison.
Warren Nutting, after his marriage, bought the George Copp farm (Lot 64) south of Mullen Cove. He was a relative of Mary Nutting, the wife of Capt. Seth Ayer. The Nutting children were Susan (Mrs. Chester Hilton, of Anson) ; John and Warren.
Isaac, Jr., and his wife, Martha Rice, of Solon (married in 1844) are still affectionately remembered by many people. Their family of exceptional sons and daughters were: Sarah (Mrs. Merari Pierce), who married George Mantor, of Madison later ; Joel, who died at his father's house at 24; Caroline (Mrs. John Williams) who moved from Anson to California about 1920 and is residing there with Stella, a daughter; Owen, who married Lana Record, of New Portland (now Mrs. Webster Williams, of Norridgewock) and resided at Fairfield till his death; Dr. Isaac L. Salley, Anson Academy, '82, who graduated in veterinary medicine in '94 at McGill University and has since been practicing at. Skowhegan; and Walter Salley who died at Embden in 1915. Dr. Salley married Lilla B. Smith of Anson in 1884. Mrs. Marjorie Hapgood of Portland, and Corinne Salley, a teacher at Waltham, Mass., are their daughters.
